West of Kenya’s capital Nairobi, the park is situated on the floor of the Great Rift Valley, the descent into the valley on your way to the park provides spectacular photography opportunities. The salt water lake plays host to flamingoes on their migratory path from Lake Baringo in northern Kenya to Lake Natron in southern Tanzania. The birds give the lake an unmistakable pink hue very much visible on the horizon, an excellent combination with the setting sun for a great photo. The park is home to lions, leopards, buffaloes, the endangered white rhino, giraffes, zebras and other plains game.
